If you dual-mic the 345 (e.g., SM57 + R121), check the "Align" button. Overloud has a phase alignment tool. One click will re-align the waveforms and suddenly your tone thickens by 40%. Part 6: The Verdict – Is the Overloud TH3 345 Still Relevant in 2024/25? With the rise of AI modeling and Capture profilers (like ToneX or Kemper), is a traditional modeled amp like the TH3 345 obsolete?
The 345 has a lot of high-end information. If your audio interface input gain is too hot, the digital conversion clips poorly. Fix: Turn your guitar volume down to 7.
If you have searched for this term, you are likely looking for one of three things: the history of the simulated hardware, a technical review of its DSP accuracy, or simply the perfect tone settings for your next mix.
If you have been struggling to get a "pro" clean tone at home, stop chasing the latest Neural DSP release. Open TH3, select the 345, follow the bias and sag settings listed above, and turn your monitors up.
You forgot to turn up the Master Volume . Unlike real amps, you can crank the Master to 10 and the Gain to 1 for crystal clean sustain. The TH3 345 needs the power amp section hot to compress.
The next time you search for "Overloud TH3 345 presets," look for files ending in .th3 . Drop them into Documents/Overloud/TH3/User Presets . The user community has created hundreds of free IRs (Impulse Responses) specifically for the 345 cabinet that take this sim from great to unbelievable.
Happy modeling, and keep the mids scooped (but not too much).
